The first enantioselective palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of fully substituted acyclic enol carbonates providing linear α-quaternary ketones is reported. Investigation into the reaction revealed that the use of an electron-deficient phosphinooxazoline ligand renders the enolate geometry of the starting material inconsequential, with the same enantiomer of product obtained in the same level of selectivity regardless of the starting ratio of enolates. As a result, a general method toward acyclic all-carbon quaternary stereocenters has been developed.

A direct and highly enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of allyl benzoate with α-substituted benzyl nitrile pronucleophiles is described. This simple protocol provides a new approach toward the synthesis of acyclic quaternary carbon stereogenic centers and provides the first example of the direct asymmetric alkylation of a nitrile anion. The synthetic utility of the nitrile products is amply demonstrated through conversion to various functional groups and the synthesis of a bioactive aryl piperazine in an expeditious four-step sequence.

Pin it down: A range of substrates that bear versatile functional groups with quaternary stereogenic centers have been prepared with very high enantioselectivity from tertiary boronic esters (see scheme; Cb=N,N-diisopropylcarbamoyl, pin=pinacolato). The preparation of allylboronic esters bearing contiguous quaternary and tertiary stereogenic centers, and applications to natural product synthesis are also reported.
